There are three distinct types of music: ethnic or traditional music, normally played during festivals; "highlife" music, a blend of traditional and ‘imported’ music; and choral music, which is performed in concert halls, churches, schools and colleges. Each ethnic group also has their own traditional dances with different dances for different occasions, such as celebrations, storytelling, praise and worship.
